A method for neurophysiologically stimulating an object by transmitting movements generated by a stimulation device is also known.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an attachment and a vibration device which ensure an additional movement effect on a user.

[0007] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) These and other objects are achieved by an attachment according to claim 1 and a vibration device according to claim 9.

[0008] Advantageous further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims or are specified below in connection with the description of the figures.

[0009] The invention includes the technical teaching that in an attachment for a vibration device with a vibration plate forming a standing surface, in particular for a 3D vibration device, a base body is included, on the underside of which at least one connecting device for connection to the vibration device, in particular the vibration plate or standing plate, is provided, so that the vibration of the vibration device can be transmitted to the attachment, more precisely to a standing part of the attachment, wherein at least one standing part which is movable relative to the base body is formed on the base body.

[0010] The attachment comprises a base body. The base body is preferably plate-shaped or has a plate-shaped part, approximately similar to the base surface of the vibration device. The base body is preferably designed such that, in a plan view, it has approximately the dimensions of the base surface of the vibration plate, so that the vibration plate is concealed by the base body in a plan view. At least in a plan view, the base body covers part of the vibration plate to be arranged underneath.

[0011] The base body has at least a bottom and a top. When attached to a vibration plate, the bottom faces the vibration plate. The top faces a user using the attachment and positioned on the attachment. The contour of the bottom is adapted to the contour of the corresponding top of the vibration plate.

[0012] At least one connecting device is provided on the underside for connection to the vibration plate. The connecting device protrudes from the underside in the direction of the vibration plate to be accommodated. The connecting device preferably comprises two opposing connecting units, which are spaced apart from one another such that the vibration device, in particular the base of the vibration plate, can be accommodated between them. Preferably, the vibration plate or the vibration device is accommodated such that a transmission of the vibrations from the vibration plate

[0013] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) / Vibration device is connected to the attachment via the connecting device. The tolerances for the connection of the connecting device to the vibration plate are selected and / or adjustable accordingly. The connection to the vibration plate / vibration device can be detachable or non-detachable. Preferably, the connecting device is designed so that it can be detachably connected to the vibration plate. With a detachable connection, one embodiment provides fixing means to prevent the attachment from accidentally becoming detached from the vibration device, for example due to vibrations. For a suitable connection, the connecting units are preferably designed as guide rails. The guide rails are designed so that the vibration plate / vibration device or the base of the vibration device is guided and received in the guide rails.To transmit the vibration of the vibration plate to the attachment, in one embodiment the connecting device can have friction-increasing and / or tolerance-reducing means such as a rubber bearing or the like in the receiving area of ​​the vibration plate. In one embodiment, the guide rails are fixedly arranged on the base body. In another embodiment, the guide rails can be adjusted with regard to their distance from one another and / or their alignment to one another (parallel / non-parallel or angular). Preferably, the guide rails are designed such that the vibration plate can be inserted between the guide rails, i.e., by a translational movement. Transversely to this, the guide rails limit the degree of freedom of the connection between the guide rails and the vibration plate.By means of a locking unit and / or clamping unit or generally fixing means, the degree of freedom in the translational direction can be closed / limited, so that the vibration plate - or generally also the vibration device - is connected to the base body via the connecting device without any remaining degree of freedom and the vibration of the vibration plate can be transmitted. However, an adequate connection is also ensured without a locking unit / clamping unit, i.e. simply by being held by the connecting rails. The guide rails preferably each have a U-shaped section into which the vibration plate is inserted and held. The U-shaped section is designed such that the vibration plate can be pushed into the U-shaped section, or vice versa, and so that a vibration of the vibration plate can be transmitted.The dimensions and tolerances of the U-shaped section and the vibration plate, in particular the.

[0014] REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 26) The depth of the vibration plate corresponds or is coordinated with each other. In particular, the connecting units are adjustable, allowing the attachment to adapt to vibration plates / vibration devices of various shapes and sizes.

[0015] In one embodiment, the base body has at least one stabilizing unit in addition to the connecting device. The stabilizing unit can be designed as a structural support. The guide rails are preferably arranged laterally on opposite sides of the plate-shaped base body. The stabilizing units are preferably arranged on the open end faces on the underside of the base body. The stabilizing units also protrude from the underside of the base body in the same direction as the connecting device. The dimension of the connecting device protruding vertically from the underside essentially corresponds to the dimension of the stabilizing units protruding vertically from the underside. Preferably, several, in particular two, stabilizing units are provided on each end face.For better stabilization, the stabilizing units, designed as structural supports, are arranged at an angle to each other, forming a somewhat V-shape. The tip of the V-shaped arrangement is preferably positioned toward the front end of the front face. In the converging region of the stabilizing units, the holding device is preferably connected to the base body via a corresponding bearing device.

[0016] In one embodiment, a structural support is arranged between the guide rails. The structural support is arranged such that it does not interfere with a vibration plate to be accommodated by the guide rails. Preferably, the structural support is arranged closer to the underside of the base body than a vibration plate to be accommodated or the corresponding sections (U-shaped sections) of the guide rails. Thus, when the vibration device is accommodated, the structural support runs between the base body and the vibration device.

[0017] The base body is preferably formed in one piece. In other embodiments, the base body can be formed in multiple parts. For example, the base body can be divided into several parts that are connected to each other, for example, by hinges. This allows the base body to be folded up and stored in a space-saving manner.

[0018] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) In one embodiment, the connecting device, the stabilizing units, and / or the holding device can also be detachably connected to the base body and stored separately from the base body. Receptacles and fixing devices are provided accordingly for a detachable connection.

[0019] The base body is preferably plate-shaped. In other embodiments, other shapes can be provided for the base body. The base body, designed as a plate, is preferably rectangular in plan view with rounded ends, so that the ends form a semicircle that merges into two parallel lateral sides. Other shapes in plan view, such as rectangles, ovals, polygons, etc., are conceivable.

[0020] To increase comfort for a user, a holding device is provided. The holding device projects from the top of the attachment, more precisely the base body, away from the base body. The holding device serves as a support for a user standing on the base body and transmits the vibrations from the vibration device via the base body and the holding device to the user's hands. The holding device preferably projects at a front end, for example a front end of an end face of the base body, preferably at an angle of approximately 90° from the base body or the plane spanned by the plate-shaped base body. In one embodiment, the angle at which the holding device projects from the base body can be changed and thus adjusted and also locked. Accordingly, the holding device is arranged on the base body via a joint with locking means.Using a joint or other means for inclining the holding device, the holding device can be folded onto the base body so that the attachment can be stowed away more easily. The holding device is preferably connected to the base body via a fixed, non-adjustable receiving device. In another embodiment, the holding device is detachably connected to the bearing device, wherein fixing means are preferably provided. In one embodiment, the holding device is screwed to the bearing device, for example. The fixing means can be used to lock the holding device against unintentional detachment from the attachment and to prevent the holding device from being unintentionally tilted. The receiving device is preferably designed as an opening into which one end of the holding device can be inserted.The opening and end of the holding device are designed to complement each other, so that the holding device is securely received in the opening when inserted. Preferably, the receiving device has a damping unit.

[0021] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) The damping unit is formed, for example, by a rubber bearing or the like.

[0022] A movable standing part is formed on and / or in the base body. The standing part is movable relative to the base body. Preferably, the standing part is movable at least in the plane spanned by the base body and / or in a plane arranged parallel thereto. Preferably, the standing part has a plate-shaped section and a bearing section. The bearing section protrudes transversely, preferably perpendicularly, from an underside of the plate-shaped section. In one embodiment, the standing part, or more precisely the plate-shaped section of the standing part, protrudes beyond the base body, thus forming a plane parallel to the plate-shaped base body. The standing part protrudes only slightly beyond the base body, for example in a range of 0 to 50 mm or less. In another embodiment, the standing part, or more precisely the plate-shaped section of the standing part, is recessed in a recess in the base body.The plate-shaped section of the stand part is then flush with the top side of the base body or is recessed therefrom. The stand part can be designed to be translationally and / or rotationally movable and / or adjustable relative to the base body. In a preferred embodiment, the stand part is designed to be at least rotationally movable relative to the base body. For this purpose, the bearing section is designed as a pin-like bearing section protruding from an underside of the plate-shaped section of the stand part, thus forming a type of axis for the stand part. In other embodiments, a lifting movement of the stand part and / or a superimposed movement of rotation and translation can be realized. The pin-like bearing section is preferably received in a corresponding bearing. The bearing is preferably designed as a rotary-lifting-swivel bearing.With such a bearing, the stand section can be adjusted in height, rotated around a rotation axis, and adjusted in inclination. The bearing is designed so that rotation can be carried out as a continuous rotation, i.e. it is not limited in terms of a rotation angle. The bearing is also designed so that if the stand section is tilted, it does not collide with the base body, or the inclination can be adjusted so that rotation without colliding with the base body is possible even when the stand section is tilted. The base should preferably be adjusted before use. Accordingly, fixing devices are provided to fix the adjusted base section - height and / or inclination - in terms of height and inclination, thus enabling free rotation without colliding with the base body.

[0023] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) The standing part can be designed as a plate-shaped body. In other designs, the standing part is designed as a plate-shaped body with additional elements. The additional elements can be, for example, slopes and / or projections. In one embodiment, the standing part is designed as a so-called calf trainer. In this case, at least one slope is provided on the plate-shaped body. The slope is adjustable in terms of its inclination. To limit the slope, in one embodiment, projections are provided on the plate-shaped body so that the slope is securely held between these projections. The slope is designed, for example, as a two-part slope which has two slope elements which are articulated to one another via at least one joint. In this way, different inclinations of the slope can be set. The slope elements are preferably designed differently from one another.

[0024] In one embodiment, the standing part, in particular the plate-shaped body, is designed as a solid body. In another embodiment, the standing part and / or the plate-shaped body is designed as a hollow body which has at least one chamber, and in other embodiments, several chambers. In a further embodiment, the standing part or plate-shaped body designed as a hollow body is filled with a filling. In one embodiment, the filling is realized in the form of crystals. In other embodiments, the filling is filled with other materials, for example liquids, gases or other solids with a predetermined mass. The additional weight provided by the filling can achieve an improved training effect. The bearing is arranged on the underside of the plate. In one embodiment, the bearing is designed as a bearing bush. The bearing is designed such that it does not come into contact with the vibration device.This allows the base to move in a manner that is decoupled from the vibration device. When the base is designed as a purely rotationally movable base, the base is constructed as a type of turntable. A pivot pin of the base protrudes into the bearing bush of the attachment. The pivot pin can be inserted into the bearing bush, or more generally, the bearing. To prevent the bearing from contacting the vibration device, the bearing extends from the underside up to the connecting device at the most. Accordingly, the bearing is dimensioned such that one end facing the connecting device protrudes approximately at the level of the side of the structural elements, or more generally, the stabilizing elements, adjacent to the connecting device.

[0025] In one embodiment, it is accordingly provided that the base body has a bearing

[0026] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) in which the standing part, more precisely the bearing section of the standing part, is movably received for relative movement to the base body. In the simplest embodiment, the bearing is designed as a pivot bearing. In an embodiment of the bearing as a purely rotary bearing, the bearing is designed as a pivot bearing. The pivot bearing is designed to correspond to the bearing section of the standing part. The bearing section serves as a pivot pin. The pivot pin is rotatably mounted in the base body in the pivot bearing. In one embodiment, the pivot bearing has a pot-shaped housing facing away from the top from the bottom, in which the pivot bearing is arranged. The pivot pin or bearing pin, generally the bearing section of the standing part, is rotatably received in the pivot bearing. In one embodiment, the pivot bearing or the housing of the pivot bearing is supported on the structural support between the guide rails.The pivot bearing is preferably arranged centrally in / on the base body, whereby this does not impair the reception of a vibration plate. In one embodiment, the pivot bearing or generally the bearing for receiving the bearing section of the stand part has a sliding and / or pivot bearing. In another design, the bearing is designed as a lifting-pivot bearing. This allows the stand part not only to be rotated, but also to be adjusted in terms of its height. In yet another embodiment, the bearing is designed as an inclination-pivot bearing or pivot bearing. This allows the stand part not only to be rotated, but also to be adjusted in terms of its inclination. Last but not least, in one embodiment, the bearing is designed as a rotary-lifting-pivot bearing. This allows the stand part not only to be rotated, but also to be adjusted in terms of its height and inclination.Adjusting the inclination may require adjusting the height of the stand to prevent collision between the stand and the base. To prevent collisions during use, the set inclination and / or height can be secured using locking devices.

[0027] In a further embodiment, a movement regulator interacting with the stand part is provided for regulating the movable stand part. The movement regulator can be used to influence, for example, limit, the relative movement of the stand part to the base body. In one embodiment, the movement regulator is designed as a resistance-increasing movement regulator. Thus, the relative movement can be limited by a resistance. In another embodiment, the movement regulator is designed as a brake. Thus, the relative movement can be stopped or limited by actuating the brake. The brake can, for example, be designed as an emergency stop switch.

[0028] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) or have an emergency stop switch that immediately stops any relative movement of the stationary part. In other embodiments, the movement control can be a drive that initiates or causes the relative movement of the stationary part. The stationary part is then driven via the drive. Preferably, the stationary part is driven only by the user's muscle power and is thus designed to be drive-free. The drive-free stationary part can have movement-reducing movement controls such as brakes and the like. An emergency stop switch is preferably provided for drive-free stationary parts in order to stop / reduce unwanted relative movements of the stationary part. The movement control can be provided on the bearing and / or the stationary part. For example, the movement control is designed as a resistance brake, optionally with resistance control, adjusting screws, brake belts, etc.Various units can be provided for movement regulation. For example, movement regulation can be achieved via a belt, in particular a tensioning belt. In other embodiments, movement regulation can be achieved via springs, magnets, or water and other liquids. Any combination of these is also possible.

[0029] The bearing and / or the bearing section can be designed such that, in addition to a rotary movement, a lifting movement and / or a pivoting movement can be realized. For this purpose, for example, the bearing section in the pivot bearing can be moved translationally along a rotational axis of the bearing section / pivot bearing. In another embodiment, the pivot bearing is movable with the received bearing section, for example, translationally and / or pivotably.

[0030] The movement control is preferably designed as a foot-operated movement control. For this purpose, a foot switch or foot lever is provided, which is operatively connected to the movement control.

[0031] To ensure safe access to the stand, one embodiment includes a through-opening. An elongated object can be inserted through the through-opening, limiting the rotational movement of the stand. To improve the locking of the stand using an elongated object, the attachment, or more precisely the base, also includes an opening into which the elongated object can be inserted when it passes through the through-opening of the stand. Before accessing the stand, the elongated object is inserted through the through-opening of the stand and into the opening of the base. This blocks the rotational movement of the stand. The user can then access the stand.

[0032] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) After entering the stand, the elongated object is removed from the opening and the passage opening and the stand is fully movable again.

[0033] In another embodiment, a holding device protruding obliquely from an upper side of the base body is provided for a user to hold on to the attachment, wherein the holding device is designed as a height-adjustable holding device. The holding device serves as a support for a user standing on the standing part. Since users can be of different sizes, the holding device is adjustable at least in terms of its height. In one embodiment, the holding device is designed as a telescopic holding device. In the telescopic version, the holding device is designed in several parts, wherein one part of the holding device can be moved out from the other. The adjustable section of the holding device forms the adjustment part. The adjustment part can thus be designed as a single part or from several (adjustment) parts.The parts of the holding device, more precisely the adjusting part, can be moved relative to one another manually or by means of an actuator. A locking unit is provided for locking the adjusting parts. The locking device is preferably provided for a manually adjustable holding device. The locking device can be designed as a locking screw. Preferably, the holding device or the parts of the holding device are tubular. In one embodiment, the tubular parts have a non-rotationally symmetrical cross-section, for example, a rectangular or square cross-section. In another embodiment, the tubular holding device can have a rotationally symmetrical cross-section.

[0034] For improved stowability, the holding device is preferably removable and / or articulated to the base body. In one embodiment, the holding device and the base body are connected to each other via a joint. The joint is designed such that the holding device can be tilted toward the base body and locked in the desired tilted position. For improved vibration transmission, the holding device is connected to the base body via a corresponding bearing. The bearing comprises—in addition to a possible joint or even without—an elastic element, for example in the form of a vulcanized rubber element or the like. This regulates the vibration transmission to the holding device.

[0035] Yet another embodiment provides that the holding device has an adjustment part and a handle part projecting therefrom, in particular projecting transversely therefrom.

[0036] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) The grip part is preferably formed at the end of the adjustment part furthest from the base body.

The accessory part for the joint is preferably designed as a fascia stimulation module. With this module, in addition to the vibration movement and / or the rotational movement, fascia stimulation for a user can be realized. The user contacts the module with a body part. Due to the vibration that is transmitted from the vibration device to the attachment and thus also to the holding device, the module also vibrates and thus enables vibration transmission to the contacting body parts. In this way, vibration transmission to various parts of the user can be realized.To increase comfort, the module is mounted on the support device via a joint that allows adjustment. The module can also be permanently attached to the support device. However, an adjustable arrangement is preferred.

[0064] The attachment 100 comprises a base body 110 and a holding device 140. The attachment 100 is intended for attachment to a vibration device (not shown here) with a vibration plate or the like having a base. In particular, the attachment is intended for attachment to a 3D vibration device's vibration plate.

[0065] The vibration plate, which can be designed in any way, is not shown for reasons of clarity.

[0066] The base body 110 of the attachment 100 can be designed in any desired manner. In the present case, the base body 110 is plate-shaped. In a plan view, the plate-shaped base body 110 has a rectangular cross-section / rectangular shape, with both end faces rounded to form a semicircular cross-section. The base body 110 thus has two end faces that are semicircular in a plan view, and two lateral broad sides.

[0067] A connecting device 120 is provided on an underside 111 of the base body 110. The connecting device 120 is provided for a connection, in particular a detachable connection, to a vibration plate of the vibration device.

[0068] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) and designed. For this purpose, the connecting device 120 has two opposing connecting units, which in this case are designed as guide rails 122. The guide rails 122 have a U-shaped section 123 for receiving an edge of the vibration plate. The U-shaped sections 123 of the guide rails 122 face each other for this purpose. To connect to the vibration plate, the guide rails 122 are moved along the vibration plate such that the U-shaped sections 123 encompass the edge of the vibration plate. The attachment 100 is pushed over the vibration plate until the guide rails 122, more precisely the U-shaped sections 123, encompass at least a large part, preferably completely, of the vibration plate. If the vibration plate is now set in motion, the movement is transferred via the guide rails 122 to the attachment 100.In order to prevent the attachment 100 from becoming detached from the vibration device, fixing means may be provided.

[0069] The base body 110 has a standing part 160 on its upper side 112. The standing part 160 forms a standing area for a user and is designed to be movable relative to the base body 110. If a user stands on the standing part 160, the movement / vibration generated by the vibration device is transferred to the standing part 160 when used with a vibration device, and transfers a superimposed movement of the vibration device and the standing part 160 to the user.

[0070] The stand part 160 has a plate-shaped section 161 and a bearing section (not shown here). In the illustrated embodiment, the plate-shaped section 161 is approximately circular in plan view and forms a type of turntable. This is movable, in particular rotatable, relative to the base body 110. The bearing section protrudes from an underside of the plate-shaped section 161. The bearing section is designed as a pivot pin, axle 172, or the like and is intended to be received in a pivot bearing 170. The pivot bearing 170 is formed approximately centrally on / in the base body 110. The pivot bearing 170 is supported on a structural support 171, which is arranged between the two guide rails 122.

[0071] To ensure the user a secure grip on the attachment 100, the attachment 100 has a holding device 140. This protrudes approximately perpendicularly from the base body 110. The holding device 140 comprises an adjustment part 142 and a handle part 145. The handle part 145 protrudes transversely from the adjustment part 142 on two sides at an end of the adjustment part 142 located remote from the base body 110. The two ends 149 of the handle part 145 are coated, preferably with a neoprene

[0072] REPLACEMENT BLADE (RULE 26) or foam material to provide a better grip for the user. The adjustment part 142 is height-adjustable. For this purpose, the adjustment part 142 has two mutually adjustable parts 143 to create a telescopic adjustment part 142. The parts 143 are designed as tubular pieces with a rectangular cross-section. To allow for telescoping, the cross-sections of the parts 143 are of different sizes. The part 143 with the smaller cross-section has an elongated hole 147 to ensure locking by means of a locking device, here in the form of a locking screw 148.

[0073] To make the attachment 100 more stable, stabilizing units in the form of supports 114 are arranged on the underside 111 of the base body 110. These are arranged at the two front ends of the base body 110.

[0074] In addition, accessory connectors in the form of eyelet connectors 191 are provided on the guide rails 122. These eyelet connectors 191 allow additional accessories to be attached to the attachment.

[0075] The holding device 140 is connected to the base body 110 via a bearing device 200. To accommodate the holding device 140, the bearing device 200 has a receiving unit 210. This receiving unit 210 is adapted with its inner contour to the outer contour of the part of the holding device 140 to be accommodated. The holding device 140 is inserted into the receiving unit 210 with a lower end. The lower end of the holding device 140 is secured in the receiving unit 210 via a screw connection 230.

[0076] The embodiments according to Figs. 1 to 3 and Figs. 4 to 9 differ essentially in the design of the bearing device 200.

[0077] The bearing device 200 according to Figs. 1 to 3 is designed with no or only slight damping, so that vibrations from the vibration device are transmitted more strongly to the holding device 140. The lower end of the holding device 140 is inserted into a corresponding receiving unit 210 and screwed into place.

[0078] In contrast, the bearing device 200 according to Figs. 4 to 9 is designed to be damped. In Figs. 4 to 9, the bearing device 200 is designed as a rubber bearing 202, more precisely as a vulcanized rubber bearing. To reduce the vibration transmission from the vibration device via the bearing device 200 / receiving unit 210 to the holding device 140, the embodiment according to Fig.

[0079] REPLACEMENT LEAF (RULE 26) 4 to 9 provide a rubber damping 220. The rubber damping 220 can have any conceivable shape. Preferably, the rubber damping 220 is designed as a sleeve or tubular piece provided in the receiving unit 210. The rubber damping 220 is arranged inside on a wall of the receiving unit 210. The holding device 140 is secured via a first screw connection 231 in the area of ​​the rubber damping 220 and a second screw connection 232 above the area of ​​the rubber damping 220. The screw connections 230 (231, 232) are oriented in different directions. The receiving unit 210 here has a tubular section 211 that protrudes beyond the base body 110 in the direction of the holding device 140. The holding device 140 is attached to this, in particular to the part projecting beyond the base body 110.The part that does not protrude beyond the base body 110 is received in a sleeve 212, wherein the rubber damping 220 is arranged between the sleeve 212 and the tube piece 211, preferably as a tubular rubber damping 220. The holding device 140 is screwed to the receiving unit 210, here in particular to the tube piece 211, by means of a screw connection 230.

[0080] It is understood that the above-mentioned features of the invention can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the invention.
